My 05 GT came with Pirelli P Zero Nero all seasons.

They perform decently, but I don't like the way they look. They are a bit wimpy looking for a Mustang GT. I'll be upgrading to 255/45/18s once the 18" fanblade wheels are available from Ford.

GT comes with Pirelli's...........V-6 comes with B.F. Goodrich. Both are basically the same overall tire height in relation to filling the wheel well. The tires are a little narrower on the V-6 because of the 7" rims versus the 8" on the GT
